hint: you can do this by writing an if statement with this format
if (condition 1 && condition 2) return "safe" else return "unsafe"
end

You've got the method skeleton looking good. Now, you want to see if the speed is between the two numbers given. You need to compare car_speed to each of those numbers and && they both need to be true. Something like:
def check_speed(car_speed)
# write your code here
if(car_speed >= 40 && car_speed <= 50)
return "safe"
end
end
I hope that helps!
Steve.
